[SOPHY _is startled, and quickly closes the door_.]
WILLIAM.
And Mary? She is not in her room?
SOPHY.
What ideas you get into your head!
WILLIAM.
Her bed is still as if it had just been made.
SOPHY (_listens, frightened_).
Is that your father? William, say nothing about this before your father!
WILLIAM.
I'm the fellow to play the informer! But you must tell me where Mary is.
SOPHY.
Gone to the Dell to ask Robert--
WILLIAM.
Mother, we beg at n.o.body's door. I am going to fetch her.
SOPHY.
In this storm?
WILLIAM (_puts on his jacket_).
He would be a fine hunter's boy who is afraid of a little bit of lightning. Only tell me which way Mary went. The one below along the brook? All right. She is not like the others, but she is only a girl.
And they are afraid.
[_Exit_.]
SCENE III
SOPHY (_alone; after him_).
William! William! [_Comes back_.]
He is gone! And the storm is getting worse. A fog below, and the thunderstorm above coming nearer. And another one is coming on from the Brandsberg. And Ulrich outside, and none of the children at home. And I all alone in this solitary hunter's house in the midst of the forest, and at such an hour of the night!
[_A door is heard slamming; she starts up_.]
Merciful G.o.d! It is he! If he should look into the room and should not see Mary! Or--
SCENE IV
_Enter the_ FORESTER _in haste; pale and distracted_; SOPHY.
SOPHY (_going to meet him_).
Back already?--[_Correcting herself_] at last?
FORESTER (_looking shyly about_).
Did anybody ask for me?
SOPHY.
No. Are they pursuing you?
FORESTER.
Who?
SOPHY.
G.o.dfrey--
FORESTER.
Why?
SOPHY.
Because you come in as if you were being hunted.
FORESTER.
I meant the soldiers.--Why do I see Mary everywhere! In the Dell--
SOPHY (_is frightened_).
In the Dell!
[_Aside_.]
Good Heavens!
